9. Apologies, problems and advice

Conversation Workbook, level A2, lesson 9. Apologies, problems and advice.

Exercise 3. Listen to the conversation. Late for practice.

I'm really sorry I'm late, Coach.

What happened, Leo? Practice started twenty minutes ago.

I missed the bus. And then the next one was late too.

OK. That's the third time this month, you know.

I know. It was my mistake. What should I do?

You should take the earlier bus, the one at three fifteen.

But school finishes at three ten.

Then why don't you ride your bike? It only takes fifteen minutes.

That's a good idea. My bike is at my grandpa's, but I can get it on Sunday.

Great. Don't worry about today. Go and get changed.

Exercise 4. Your turn. Listen, stop the recording and answer. Then listen to a possible answer.

A.

You're late again!

I'm really sorry. I missed the bus.

B.

I'm sorry, I forgot your book.

That's OK. Don't worry about it.

C.

I have a bad grade in math. What should I do?

You should talk to your teacher.

D.

I can't do my homework. It's really difficult.

Why don't you ask your sister for help?

E. You broke your friend's pen.

I'm so sorry. It was my mistake. I'll buy you a new one.

F.

I'm always tired in the morning.

You should go to bed earlier.

This is the end of the recording.
